On Tuesday the children arrived back from there bank holiday weekend to find that while they had be gone we had had a break in in one of the Year 3 classrooms!!

The children were set the task to find out exactly what had happened and so explored the scene, making notes and asking questions.

On Friday, we were lucky enough to speak to some of the key witnesses about the events and started to think about how these events unfolded.  We got to speak to Mr Cunningham, Mr Chapman, Mrs Walls – A Dragon Scientist, and Mrs Phillips – a local neighbour.  The children will be collating all the information and writing a newspaper report on the Dragon spotted in Waterlooville.  We will be taking our reports to Waterlooville Library later in the term to share.  We will be asking for parent volunteers to help us walk to the church.

In other news, this week in Maths the children have been solving Dragon related problems involving addition and subtraction.  We have been very impressed with the way that they have been working this week and so hope this continues into the following week.

The Spelling homework for this week will be focusing on spelling words from the Y3/4 list.  Don’t forget to also practise your times tables and have a go on Sumdog!
